Learn how to cook a variety of dishes sous-vide in this practical 1-day cooking class. Cooking sous-vide is the simplest and most effective way to ramp up the taste and texture of food. The course teaches just how easy it is to produce restaurant-standard results with vegetables, potatoes, beef, chicken, fish and eggs.
We all know that cooking a perfectly tender steak or vegetables to the ideal texture can be tricky. Cooking steak sous-vide means the end result will have a better infusion of flavours, paired with a succulant and plump texture, while cooking vegetables such as carrots, asparagus and mushrooms sous-vide ensures that all the flavour added to the vegetable is absorbed without losing its texture.
This introductory course is perfect for anyone who is new to sous-vide cooking and is eager to learn this technique which delivers consistent results every time.
